Clumsy and kind of stupid, but it works. Haven't seen a better, one step way (
open to suggestions. ) BTW, this question is better suited to java/advanced java
lists. I won't be as nasty as dvae ( I would put sic, but assume he can spell his own
name, ) but if you look at the API for Double, you'll see there is no parseDouble(),
hence the not found. This is what you call Object Oriented Consistency in the Java
API and why A) most of us work with the online API docs at hand B) we get deprecated
methods. ;-0!

Subject: Re: another basic question
But this is my problem, but I don't want a DOUBLE OBJECT,
I want a DOUBLE VALUE / TYPE. I have tried the below method but then I have the
problem of converting the Double d object to the value which the database will take
without throwing an exception because it wants a double whilst I am giving it a
Double And it is this that is causing me the grieve.
I tried the Double.parseDouble, but I just get : not found in java.lang.Double

Double d = Double.valueOf(stringRepresentationOfDouble);
or
Double d = new Double(stringRepresentationOfDouble);

P.S. Please refer to documentation (trying to be polite but RTFM :).
